As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.

As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

“Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”

Then I said, “Ah Lord God! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking parables?’”

Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a man was standing beside me.
